(追随梦想)

I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch in San Ysidro. He has let me use his house to put on fund-raising events to raise money for youth at risk programs.

The last time I was there he introduced me by saying, "I want to tell you why I let Jack use my house. It all goes back to a story about a young man who was the son of an itinerant horse trainer who would go from stable to stable, race track to race track, farm to farm and ranch to ranch, training horses. As a result, the boy"s high school career was continually interrupted. When he was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.

"That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a horse ranch. He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch, showing the location of all the buildings, the stables and the track. Then he drew a detailed floor plan for a 4,000-square-foot house that would sit on a 200-acre dream ranch.

"He put a great deal of his heart into the project and the next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a note that read, `See me after class."

"The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked, `Why did I receive an F?"

"The teacher said, `This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You come from an itinerant family. You have no resources. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for the original breeding stock and later you"ll have to pay large stud fees. There"s no way you could ever do it.’ Then the teacher added, `If you will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.’

"The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, `Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important decision for you.’

"Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all. He stated, `You can keep the F and I"ll keep my dream.""

Monty then turned to the assembled group and said, "I tell you this story because you are sitting in my 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch. I still have that school paper framed over the fireplace." He added, "The best part of the story is that two summers ago that same schoolteacher brought 30 kids to camp out on my ranch for a week." When the teacher was leaving, he said, `Look, Monty, I can tell you this now. When I was your teacher, I was something of a dream stealer. During those years I stole a lot of kids’ dreams. Fortunately you had enough gumption not to give up on yours.’"

Don"t let anyone steal your dreams. Follow your heart, no matter what.

我的一个朋友在圣地亚哥(San Diego)南部的圣伊西德罗(San Ysidro)社区拥有一个马场，他的名字叫曼迪罗伯茨(Monty Roberts)。他答应我可以用他的房子来举办一些活动，来为一些年轻人的风险投资计划方案募集资金。

记得上次我在他那里的时候，他是这样介绍我的：“我想让你们知道，为什么我会把房子借给Jack用。这让我想起以前曾经发生的`跟一个小男孩有关的小故事。这个小男孩是一个游走驯马师的儿子。而父亲总是会到处奔走于各个马厩、跑道与农牧场之间为别人训练马匹。小男孩在高中的正常学习生活也因此不断受到打扰。临毕业的一年，老师给他布置了一篇短文作业，描述一下自己将来想成为什么样的人和会做一些什么样的事情”

“当晚，他写了7页纸的作业文章，构想是他将来想拥有一个马场。详述并绘制一幅图，图中，这个马场有200英亩大，以及各个相关建筑、马厩和跑道的具体地点。还有一个详细的建屋计划---一个坐落在200英亩马场里的4000平方英尺的大房子。”

“小男孩很用心完成了这篇作业，第二天交给了老师。两天后，作业发下来了。一个大大的红色的F出现在作业的头页，还有几个字：课后来见我”

“课后，这个内心充满梦想的小男孩来到了老师面前问：为什么我的作业只得了F呢?”

“老师说：像你这样的学生有这样的梦想非常的不切实际。你没有钱，又来自一个游走驯马师的家庭，你根本没有实现梦想所需要的资源。拥有一个马场需要很多的资金，你必须买地，买种马，将来你还要支付一大笔的配种费用。你根本就无法做到这些。老师接着说：如果你重新写一篇作业，说一些比较实际的理想。我会考虑重新给你打分。”

“小男孩回到家，仔细的想了好久好久。他问爸爸他究竟该怎么办。爸爸说：这样吧，儿子，这个决定由你自己做吧。但我想，这个决定对你来说也非常的重要”

“思考了整整一周的时间后，小男孩最后还是没有把作业做任何的改动，交了上去。跟老师说：你可以继续给我F的评分，而我却要继续保留我的梦想”

曼迪回过头对大家说：“跟你们说这些是因为你们现在就正坐在我的200英亩大的马场里的一个4000平方英尺的房子里面。那篇高中作业文章我一直留到现在，做了个框架，现在就挂在壁炉的上方。这个故事中，最精彩的部分是两个夏天之前，给我作业评分F的老师带着30个学生来到了我的马场，宿营了一周。当老师即将离开的时候，他说：曼迪，我可以这样跟你说，当我还是你的老师的时候，我简直就是一个盗取别人梦想的人。那些年，我偷了太多孩子的梦想了。让我感到欣慰和幸运的是，你却有足够的魄力和勇气没有放弃你自己的梦想。”

励志，即是唤醒一个人的内在创造力。惟有从内心深处展开的力量，用心灵体验总结出的精华，才是一个人真正获得尊严和自信的途径。我精心为你整理了励志的经典英语故事，希望对你有所借鉴作用哟。

A boy found an eagle's egg and he put it in the nest of a prairie chicken. The eagle hatched and thought he was a chicken. He grew up doing what prairie chicken do-scratching at the dirt for food and flying short distances with a noisy fluttering of wings. It was a dreary life. Gradually the eagle grew older and bitter. One day he and his prairie chicken friend saw a beautiful bird soaring on the currents of air, high above the mountains.

“Oh, I wish I could fly like that!” said the eagle. The chicken replied, “Don't give it another thought. That's the mighty eagle, the king of all birds-you could never be like him!” And the eagle didn't give it another thought. He went on cackling and complaining about life. He died thinking he was a prairie chicken. My friends, you too were born an eagle. The Creator intended you to be an eagle, so don't listen to the prairie chickens!

一个小男孩发现了一只老鹰下的蛋，把它放进了一只山鸡的窝里。鹰被孵出来了，但他以为自己是一只山鸡。渐渐的他长大了，却做着山鸡所做的事---从泥土里寻找食物，做短距离的飞翔，翅膀还啪啪作响。生活非常沉闷，渐渐地鹰长大了，也越来越苦恼。有一天，他和他的山鸡朋友看见一只美丽的鸟在天空翱翔，飞的比山还高。

“哦，我要能飞的那么高该多好啊！”鹰说。山鸡回答说，“不要想了，那是凶猛无比的.鹰，鸟中之王---你不可能像他一样！”于是鹰放弃了那个念头。他继续咯咯地叫，不停的抱怨生活。最后他死了，依然认为自己是一只山鸡。朋友们，你们天生就是雄鹰。造物主有意把你造就成一只雄鹰，所以不要听信山鸡的话！

An ant was drinking at a river. Suddenly he slipped, and fell into the water.

A dove took pity on him. She threw a small branch into the river. The ant seized the bough, and swam back to the shore.

A few days later, the ant saw a hunter aiming a gun at the dove. He bit the man in the foot sharply.

The man missed the shot, and the dove's life was saved.

The dove felt very grateful. She made good friends with the ant.

译文：

一只蚂蚁到了河边饮水，却不幸掉入河之中。

一只鸽子看见，扔下一段树枝，把他救起。

过了不久，蚂蚁看见猎人正在拿枪瞄准鸽子，就狠狠地朝他脚上咬了一口，没让他打中。

鸽子非常感激蚂蚁。从此，他们成了好朋友。

寓意：有些朋友也许平时看似微不足道，但却有可能在我们身处困境的时候提供巨大的帮助。
